Yokosuka D4Y2 Model 12 "Suisei" (FIXED VERSION)
Thanks for the upvotes so far, its 1 year of work beautifully rewarded.

| Description |

The D4Y2 is a single-engined carrier-based dive-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. And is operated by a crew of two in tandem enclosed cockpit. It was at his time, (41 to 44) the fastest dive-bomber in operation. The D4Y2 Comet Model 12 was faster than is predecessor but got his range lowered.

I have choosen to build the Model 12 variant, because the majority of the quality blueprint and intel were for either the Model 12 or the D4Y3.

And speaking of choices, i've deliberatly didn't added the extrernal fuel tanks, because they were (as in real life) blocking the air-brakes. Maybe i'll add them, maybe...

Current paint scheme : 131st Kokutai Dark Green 2 (AS-21) and Light Grey (AS-2).

> IMPORTANT : Im well aware of the flaws, inaccuraties and mistakes on the flight model. And i was also "forced" to make practical choices against design and accuratie. I apology for theses matters, and i don't have the pretention to said that my plane is 100% historicaly accurate. That being said, i've put all my knowledge and expertise on this plane. Hope it will please the peoples who have supported me from the start (around 1.2 year from now).

| Usage and tips |

• Ground spawn :

• Mid-air spawn :
  This is the important part. When you are spawning mid-air immediatly activate the engines to prevent the 2 smallers blades mechanisms of the type 99 to explode due to extrem overspeed. and then you are free to go.
